"So how do you get a polar bear to paint? Very carefully! Henry loves pig fat - so our Keepers placed the treat in strategic locations in Henry's holding room so that he'd have to walk through non-toxic paint first and then across art paper. Once they know he's done his best - the trick is to get the 600 lb bear out of there before he REALLY expresses his artistic side - sometimes by rolling on, tearing up - or ripping apart the artwork," the sanctuary said in the video's description.
Henry's paintings, and those created by the sanctuary's other bears, are being sold on the sanctuary's website, www.polarbearhabitat.ca.
